False Teacher of the Day #14: Jennie Allen
By JEFF MAPLES - MAY 28, 2021 Continuing our False Teacher of the Day series, we’ve already covered many false teachers from well-known and highly visible preachers to obscure preachers and teachers that nobody has ever heard of until now. Today’s false teacher, however, is a very popular speaker among women: Jennie Allen. Jennie Allen is the founder of the popular–but heretical–IF Gathering. The IF Gathering is a yearly conference that includes speakers ranging on the spectrum from extremely troubling views to rank heretics. Allen is also a popular author and refers to herself as a “bible teacher,” though what she actually teaches isn’t necessarily from the bible. And this is where the trouble begins. Jennie Allen is a proponent of the Enneagram which touts itself as a way–apart from the Scriptures–to gain insight into one’s “true self,” and restoring balance and developing more desirable qualities to one’s personality and reaching a state of spiritual “freedom.” Allen teaches an unbiblical method of “retraining your thoughts” through the use of various pop psychologies rather than through submission to God’s word.
